I purchased my domain name! It's not up and running just yet and Blogger will still make sure that you can get to me, but make sure you update your bookmarks, links, etc. to this:http://www.stutteringshell.comHow exiciting...I have my own domain name! (It's really quite sad to think that something as silly as a $10/year subscription gets me feeling all warm & fuzzy on the inside...ah, simple minds, simple pleasures I suppose!)EDITED TO SAY:The domain name is up and running......hooray!!! :) … [Read more...]

I knew what the outcome would be. I mean, the last time I needed a formal dress I tried it on and it the fit was no bueno. The dress needs to be altered AGAIN in the same place it was altered the one and only time it was worn! It's also in … [Read more...]
